Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
14 garlic cloves, peeled
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped capers
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, more to taste
Black pepper, to taste
12 1/4-inch-thick baguette slices
1 large bunch ( 3/4 pound) dandelion greens, torn into bite-size pieces
Coarse sea salt, for serving

Steps:

In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the oil. Add 12 garlic cloves (they should be just covered by the oil) and cook gently until very soft, 45 minutes to 1 hour; cool. Reserve oil.
Mince remaining garlic cloves and put them in a small bowl. Add the capers, lemon juice, lemon zest, fine sea salt and pepper. Whisk in 6 tablespoons garlic cooking oil.
Heat the broiler. Spread the bread on a baking sheet; brush surfaces with remaining garlic oil. Broil until crisp and golden, 1 to 2 minutes a side.
Toss the greens with the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Divide among six serving plates. Smash one confited garlic clove on top of each toast; sprinkle with coarse salt. Arrange two toasts on each salad plate.
